Good question! Never thought to try one I was so disappointed!

I tested the blade in 4 different areas, and I see no difference in the heat treat. It's still right where it was prior to engraving. I made sure to test in the areas where it got the hottest. I also think I went a little overboard on both the design and my settings. I'm going to try a single...

Played around with a full blade etch. The dragon was first and warped the blade. Then the laser assy. pushed it around a bit and messed it up. I did the other side, and it took the warp out! This is heat treated AEB-L. 100% at 4800 mm/m with 2 passes and it took somewhere between 20-30 minutes...

Top small dark one in the picture with 3 marks was at 5400 mm/m and the larger one under it was 7800 mm/m

Here are some tests on MagnaCut. I just did these today with a 40 watt Falcon2 They all catch a fingernail with ease. These are 2 pass burns at 100%.

They are! I can't wait to really learn the software and get deeper into it!

Test cut out.

Panicked too soon...stupid emergency switch was locked down. A simple twist and everything is good...

Well...my brand-new laser engraver arrived, and it seems to be DOA! The external power supply light is lit but the unit will not power up when I press the on/off switch. What a disappointment! I sent an email to Creality. I guess we'll see what happens!

I have 2 calibrated test discs. I have checked with both and they are within .2 so it's not that. I guess I'll have to call Baker Forge again...

I bought a very expensive piece of Bronze SanMai from Baker Forge. It is made with bronze and 80CRV2. I followed their heat treat instructions to the "T" and I am unable to get it past 50 HRC. I have Paragon Knife Kiln that is very stable. I also have an oil heater for my quench oil with a temp...

It's all good information!

Thanks!

Anyone have some insight on videos I should watch to prepare for my new toy?

Well...you guys finally did it. I just ordered the Falcon2! Hope it comes in handy.

My shop was turned into a Garage Sale this weekend...had to make sure my wife didn't sell any of my stuff!

I'm thinking something like this.

This is a picture of the blade types. Many of each style. Some are too small for a fixed blade conversion. Most are Shrade factory leftovers, and all are made in the USA. Wish I could make folders...

I have many different blades. It was a lot of 144 blades. Would anyone be interested in attempting this with me? I'll mail a few out if some of you might like to try...
